I haven't even checked rankings, but I am getting daily traffic from Ask. Not huge by any means, but consistent both in frequency and in helping to continue to identify the demographics of their users somewhat.
I've not heard of anyone getting substantial traffic from them for guy stuff, but from what I've seen over the past couple of years there's a reasonable popularity with "homebody" type women, and I'm seeing that quite graphically this Holilday season, since the search terms people are coming in on are 100% what women would be shopping for, especially family-type ladies.
Just thought I'd mention this, since I think its helpful to identify who searches where and why, and it's all to easy to discount the importance of some search engines that deserve more attention and credit than we're prone to give them.
